Oh and i was told they they hatched late sept. to early october. the one pictured seems younger than the one im guessing is female
 
Are they both the same animal? Definitely a female or females 100% There is no hemipenal bulge and the coloration is typical.

yes its the same animal. So it is typical for a female to show very vibrant green/ turquoise (picture does no justice for color)? i agree with you about the bulge, I didnt see one either but im not experienced at sexing. Thanks for your help

Looks like you know what to look for;) They certainly can show some turquoise.

I ran across that picture yesterday. me and my girlfriend were amazed at the colors. especially those purple cheeks and blue! such a beautiful female. can babies not show a bulge at first but develop one as it grows? I hope i have a colorful female out of the two
 
She was definitely a really pretty female!! You can see the bulges even right after they hatch so if you know what to look for then I would say they wont not show a bulge and then get one once older.

You definitely have a female.

Ok good to know. Thank you for all your help, its greatly appreciated. I have to practice sexing more to feel comfortable doing it.
